Wish List Wednesday!

It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means! And while we work on the celebrities you’ve suggested, let’s shine the spotlight on Shruti’s style this week.

You will agree that when she first burst on to the scene, she had some rough edges on her, and we mean that in the best way. It meant she kept it fresh, individualistic and while not out and out edgy, did have bit of an edge to her. And then she dove in to the industry’s expected leading actresses’ fall back sartorial look-book morphing in to another pretty actress in a sequined sari.

We haven’t give up hope yet. Here are some of our picks that we think would look great on Shruti both straight off the runway and some slightly modified. We’d love for her to be both Glamorous and Individualistic.

Shruti Haasan

L To R: Deux A, Rimzim Dadu, Anand Bhushan And Sanchita

L To R: Preeti S Kapoor, Kallol Datta, Anand Kabra And Pankaj And Nidhi

L To R: Vizyon, Swapnil Shinde, Nupur Kanoi And Nachiket Barve

These might be bit of a stretch but we think she could totally work them. If nothing else, it’s a gentle nudge towards this other direction she could take.

It was another fresh-off-the-runway design for Ms. Mohapatra. Love the surprise of the bindi and think she wears the look well. One teeny gripe though… Had the hem been just a lil’ shorter (like on the runway), the shoes would’ve worked but with a floor grazing hem, we aren’t so sure. Ankle-up, looking good!

I so love the runway version, love.

It comes as no surprise that Ms. Mohapatra would be the first to be spotted in Kallol Datta’s latest collection.

One to stay true to her own individual brand of style, this latest appearance was no different. We aren’t big fans of the ankle boots but then, I can’t picture her in anything else either; she makes it work! Looks great.

Berlin Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012: Kallol Datta

The collection note reads, ‘Grey haired women in a large abandoned morgue facility conducting autopsies of people who’ve died of heartbreaks and heartaches.’ and that in itself speaks so much about the showcased collection.

Pared-down, sombre, severe and angst-y. And just when you begin to take it all a little too seriously, the designer cleverly employs prints, cuts and detail that can’t help but make you want to take a second, longer look and dare I add, smile. Original and fresh, trite but true.

While she kept it casual while travelling (in the black Kallol Datta), Sonam glammed it up for her promotional events in Bengaluru wearing an Atsu dress during the daytime and a white Gaurav Gupta dress for a Players party at night.

The Atsu look was our favorite of the day.
